You're also saying I need to be a salesman. That game I am really good at, I do it for a living. Basically I tell a customer what they need based on what they voluntarily tell me by answering questions I ask, then I say ok, let's make this happen & I usually get the sale.
There is a difference between kissing butt and stroking ego...as a salesman you should know this, if you want to participate in the political arena, it's a requirement.
